WASHINWTON, August 10'.-The de
4 bate in the 1ouse today on the Wilson
repeal bill began with but little ore
liminary. It was started by Mr, lc
Call (Rep.) of Massachusetts, in favor
of the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman bill, and was closed b
Muses(Dem.)ef Georgia, in opposition
thereto. Sandwiched bptween these
two speeches were remarks by Coombs
(Dem.) of New York, Bryan (Dem.) of
Nebraska and Ifenderson (Itep.) of
Iowa. The first named made au ad
.9 dress, from a business standpoint, in
favor of the repeal of the Sherman
. law, and Bryan made the speech of the
day, and although ie occupied more
- than two hours in its delivery, he com
manded the earnest attention of his
colleagues throughout. le was one of
the apostles pf bimetallism, and his
sympathizers regarded his arguments
an unanswerable.
But the same thing was said of the
9 speech of Henderson by the opponents
of free coinage, and, taken altogether,
the day's debate might be put (own in
the category of a drawnt battle. Mr.
Bryan said that he would fully accom
plish his purpose if lie were able to
impress upon the members of this
House the importance of the question
which was now under consideration,
and to quicken their approciatioin of
- the grave responsibility which pressed
upon them. Upon the action of this
Congress depend not only the welfare
of the United States, but the welfare
of humanity itself for ages to come.
Some outside of this hall had assumed
that the recommendation of the Presi
dent imposed some obligations upon
Democratic members to do as h.e de
sired, and some had even been hardy
enough to suggest that a failure to fall
in with recemmendations there maao
., would subject the dissenter to ad minl
istrative displeasure; but those persons
did the President great injustice. Tie
President would not for a moment for
get the independence of the two
branches of Congress. Let the P:esi
dent's own language rebuke those who
would froiUfalse feeling change their
convictions upon the subject in order
to conform to his suggestions.
In the message of 1885 t.o Congress,
at the beginning ef the first session,
a there would be found these words:
"Tile zealous watchfulness of our con
stituents, great and small, supplement,
their suff rages, and before the tribmals
they establish every public servant
should be judged." Among tihe many
grand truths expressed by our Presi
dent, none disclosed a truer seiise and
clearer conception of oflicial responsi
bility, or spoke in clearer terms of our
duty to our constituents. In 1885 the
same forces were at work as were at
work now; the same pressure wai
brought to bear then as now. But fie
called attention to the fact that th
Democratic party atthattimein power
recognized its duty to its country, and,
be it said to the credit of t.hat party,
that in this Ilouse onl[y 33 Democrats
voted to sustain the recoinnendation
and 130 stood by t he interests of tl ir
constituents. It proved that, the Dem
ocratic party at tha, time recogiizAl
that the suggestion of tile President,
came for consideration and not, for
control. And time had demonstrateii
that these Itepresentauves, follo wing
the wishes of their people, reflecting
the sentiments of t heir constitueincy,
were wise; than the P?residetit, who re
commended.
If he could understand the latnguage
of the m)essage, it meant butt one t,ing:
It meant the burIal of silver, with no
promise of resturrection. It was tile
argument of the gold standard, It led
9 to universal gold monometallism, to
the realm over whose door was writ
ten, "Abandon hope all ye who enter
here."
There is but one wvay of bringing
gold from nbroad (except the issuing
of gold bonds), and t,hat was t.o sell our
products and secture t.he .sellow metal.
But if we established a single gold
st andard, gold would be put, upon the
auction block. Every time gold weont
abroad the farmers of (lie Unit.ed St,ates
4 must lower tile prices (of their produtcts.
Then the farmers of England would
lower their prices, in order to get the
goldl back. Thenm we must again lower
ours, and no one could1 tell the price at.
which at last our prodtucts would set,tle
down,
lie was opposed to a single st andard
of valume, be it goldI or silver, and was
in favor of a double standard. TJhe
question niow presentied was, whether
the United States waIs going to say
that it was an English coloney or an
independent nation. [Applamise I. If
there be some person living on the
eastern shore who were better acftinat
ed with the beautty of the Alps than
with the grandeur of' the Rockies bet
ter acquainted with the sunny ski*s of
Italy than with tile Invigorating
nreezes of the Mississippi valley, let,
them K(now that there are penple who
are willing to cast their all on fate of
this Republic, andt ri..e or fall with it.
[Applause].
Bryan spoke in favor of the r'eten
tion of the ratio of 16; to 1, arguIng
that an Increase of that ratio wotild be
detrimental to an international agree
ment as to the coinage of tihe t wo met
als. The trouble now was not a lack
of confidence in Great Britain. Thme
United States had got along before
without the confibence of England,
and, thank God, it could (do 5o again.
[Lau ghter.] He wantedI to restore
Sconfidence among the people; but lie
did not believe in curing a headache ny
putting a mnustardl plaster to thie feet
of the patient. [A pplause.j
-Let some bill be pasBsed here which
would make tile lianks safe places of
deposit. It was the fear of the banks,
and not of the government, that had
caused tile present stringency. I t was
asked that thtre should lbe peace. There
could be no peace so long as there were
people here who wouhd chain t his coun
try to a single gold standard. There
woulli be war here, and eternal war.
|Applause.]I If the Democratic plat
form meant anything, it means t,hat
the Shlerman law was a makeshift; but
it proposed something better than that,
ad that somethling was a silver and
gold coinage. The question was not
whether the President Is honest or not;
the question was whether he was
rigir. rne i-resiaent nac won th(
conildence' of the people; but he hat
been deceived. iIe had said in his mes
sage that the people demanded the re
peal-of the Sherman act. Ile had heard
from the boards of trade and from th
chambers of commerce, but he had nol
heard from the farmers or the men ir
the workshops, and he could no mort
judge of the opinion of the people thar
he could measure thei ocean's depth[
by the ocean's wave. Let the friend
of silver call the battle on, and neve
leave the field until the people's money
was restored.
In conclusion, Bryan said: "The
Democratic party stands tod ay betweor
two conilicting forces. On the outside
stand the corporate. Interests of the
United States, the moneyed interests
aggregated wealth and capital, imperi
ots, arrogant, compassionless. The3
are able to subscribe magnificently t<
campaign funds. They are able t(
crush with influence any who may dar
oppose, and to those who fawn an
flatter they can bring ease and plenty
These dtemands that the Democratic
party shall become the agents to exe
cute their merciless decrees. On thi
other side stand an unnumbered thronp
--those who gave to the Democratic
party a name and for whom it has as
umeid to sueak. Work worn and dust
begrimed, they make their mute ap
peal,and too often find their cry for hel
beat in vain against the outer walls,
while others less deserving gain ready
access to legislative halls. This army,
vast and daily vaster growing, pleads
with the Democratic party to be its
champion in this terrible conflict. It
cannot press its claims amid sounds of
revelry; it cannot march its phalanxes
in gran. parade. No gaudy bannerF
,, oat upon the breeze. Its battle hymn
i 'Home, i[ome, Sweet Home;' its
warrior, 'Equality before the law.
Between the f'orces hesitating in doubt
which side to turn. yet conscious that
upon its decision must rest its fate,
stands the Democratic party, and to it
standing thus, come the words of Is.
rael's second Law-Giver: 'Choose ye
this (lay whom ye will servt.'
"Aye, my friends, let me invoke the
memory of him whose dust made sa
cred the soils of Monticello, when his
spirit went to join the dead but scep
tred sovereigns, who still rule our spir
it from their narth. Thomas Jeffersom
was called a demagogue; his followers
were called a inoW- but he dared to fol.
low the best promptings of his heart
he dared to place man above matter
humanity above poverty. lie dared tc
spurn the bribes of wealth and power
and to plead the cause of the commor
people, and because of his dovotion tc
their interests, the Democr:atic party
was invincible while he lived, and be
cause of that devotion his memory wil
be revered while history endures.
"What message comes from the Her
mitage? Aye, there was other crisif
in the affairs of Ihis government, muct
like this. The national banks of that
(lay sought to control the politics of
the nation, and God raisedt up an An
drew Jackson, who had the courage to
grapple with the nation's enemy. By
tverthroWing it he made himself the
idol of the American people, and
brought back to public confidence the
Diemocratic party. We stand today,
just after the greatest succeis in the
history of the )omocratic party; and,
standing upon this vict.ory-crowned
suuinit, will the party turn its face
to I he rising or setting sun ? Will it
choose blessings or cursing.life or death
-which -which ?"
At te conclusion of Iryan's speech

sunrrotinded by his colleagues, congrat
ulatitig him iij)on his great effort.
Air. liemiderson, llepablic:tn, s ild the
most gratifying thing that could reach
the people of the United States were
these cries of "Vote, vote, vote." The
people xpected early action, if Con.

thaht so) much tilne had been given.
The country was congested by distress.
Laboring men were bieing stricken
trom the rolls by the thousands; the
trteasury was closing its vaults; h)anka

PARIs, August 15.-At 1 o'clock thii tl
morning the seven Bering Sea arbitra- 1)
tors held a private session in a room a
used by oflicials of the department of
foreign affairs at the Quai I'Orsal. At SH
11 o'clock the arbitrators reassemtled of
in the room in the foreign ollice, in
which the public sessions had been
held. Barron De"'ourcel the president w
of the tribunal, then delivered to the
agents of the United States and Great ?
Britain original copies of the decision
signed by all arbitrators.
Meanwhile, Baron De Courcel ad
dressed the arbitrators, saying that he
recognized the great value of arbitra- "
tion as a cause of peace between na
tions. lie expressed the opinion that 1fl
every international arbitration renders "'
war less possible, and said he looked
forward to time in the near Iiture ci
when it would be the rule, and not the
exception, to settle international difli
culties in this way. I
Senator John Morgan, one of the a
American arbitrators and Lord Ilan
nen, one of the arbitrators appointed
by Great Britain, responded to Baront
Do Courcel, declaring that they recip- 9
rocated the sentiments expressed by 8
him aud recognized the hospitality tel
dered by France to the arbitrators.
Thesession terminated amid mutual
congratulations and expressions of
good feeling. After a preamble stting '
the ease submitted for decision, the iul
text of the award reads as follows:
TEXT OF TIFE AWARD. io
We decide and determine as 1.0 tho re
ive points mentioned in article 6, ai to Ci
which our award is to embrace, a dis
tinct decision upon each of them. As ty
to the first of said points, we, Baron de Ct
Courcel. John H-. Iarl:m, Lord Iti- gi
nen, Sir John S. ). Thompson, Marquis tr;
Emilios Tisconti-Venosta and G;i-Ae- co
row W. Gram, being a majority of said c
arbitrators, do decide as follows: By tt
the ukase of 1821 Russia claimed the sea in
now known as Bering sea to the extent l(
of 100 Italian miles from the coast aid tl
islands belonging to her, but in the tr
course of thenegotiations which led to s(
the conclusion of the treaty of 182 I it
with Great Britain, Russia admitted
that her jurisdiction in said sea shouti
p be restricted so as to reach a cannon '
shot from shore. It appears that fromni
that time up to the time of the cession i
of Alaska to the United States ltissia l
never assented, in fact, or exercised any
exclusive jurisdiction in Bering sea, or ti
any exclusive rights to the seal lishery b,
therein, beyond the ordinary limit of' i
territorial waters. at
As to the second of the live points, ri
the same arbitrators decide and deter- th
mine that Great Britain did not recog- si
nize or concede any claim upon the c
part of Russia of exclusive j iiisdiction
as to the seal fisheries in Bering Sea re
outside the ordinary territorial waters. 1ht
To the third point., as to so much li
thereof as requires to decide wheth- mn
er the body of water now known as the tie
Bering Sea was included in the phrase fa
"Pacilic Ocean," as used in the treaty l,
of 1825 between Great Britain and Rius- hi:
sia, we ianim ously decide that, the
body of water now known as 1ering ll
Sea was included in the phrase "l'acific p,&
Ocean," as used in said treaty.
On the fourth point., we decide and M
detertnine that all the rights of RAussia in
to jurisdiction and to the seal fisheries
passed to the United States limited by
the cession.
On the fifth point the decision of the Jll
tribunal, Justice Harlan and( Senator Ci
Morgan dissenting, was as follows: M
"On the fifth point wve, Baron de Cour- ne
cel, Lord Hlannen, Sir John 5. D. 0
Thompson, Marquis Emilios VTisconi- i
Venosta and Gregerow W. Gram, being
the majority of said arbitrators, d.eide r
and determine that the United States ?
have no right to the protection of n
property In the seals frequenting the W
Islands of the United States in Biering M
Sea when the same are found in the d14
ordinary three mile limit. Li.'
"And whereat' the aforesaid defer- mi
mination of the foregoing (juestions as th~
to the exclusive jurisdiction or the w<(
United States leaves the subject in (i,I
such a position that the concurrence o1 re
Great Brilian is necessary to the est,ab- r
lishment of regulations for the proper
protection and preservation of [fir
seals habitually resorting to Bering th
Sea, we, Baron do Courcel, Lord llan
nen, Marquis Emilois Visconti 'Venost a
and Gregerow WV. Gram, being a ma- ~
.ority of the arbitrators, assent to thme
whole nine articles 01' the regulations,ku
as necessary outside of the jurisdictioni
limits of the respective governmentisLi
and that they should extend over the 9
water hereinafter mentionied'."w
SERIES OF REGI;rLA'TIONs. wi
A series of regulations were added hia
by a majority of the arbitrators, Jlustice imi
IIarlan andt Sir Jfohn Thompson dis8- w:
tienting. By these a permanently pc
closed zone of sixty miles is establishmeid ey
around the Pribilov Islands. A close (i
season against killing fur seals is c-s.h
tablished from May 1 to ,Jully 31 on Lithe
high sea In that part of the l'aciie
iOcean inclusive of Bering Sea, situmated
north of the 35th degree of north lati- 9"
tude or eastward of the 180t,h degree of wI
longitudie from Greenwich until it, h
strikes the water bouindry described ini
Sarticles of the treaty of 1867 between
I the United States and lRussia, follow
-1112 that line up to Bering Straits. t
The use of sailing vessels only is
permit,ted in the capture of seals. Seal
in g vessels are to be licensed and carry
a d isti mnguishing ilag. An accurate re c
cord of the catch is enjoined upon each 00
sealing vessel. The use of nets, lire- t:
arms or explosives is forbidden in fur pui
sealing. A supervision of the litness WV
of the men engaged in fur sealing is an
enjoinedl upon the United States and let
Great Britain. Native Indians are lv
permitted to catch reals after their un
original methods. Th'iese regutlaitions 18
are to remain In force until abohicid 1>r
by common consent, and are to be sub -
mitted to a new examination every
five years. cmi
The arbitrators made a special lind
lng of the fac,ts agreed upon bly the
agents of both governments with ref- of
erence to the sefzure of British ve.ssels ca]
In Bering sea in 1887 and 188. M
In addition, the arbitrators make cer- cci
Lain suggestions to the two govern- on
mlens,the moat Important being that rgr<
thysould oome to an understanding Idit
to prohibit the killing of seals on land|I fir
or sea for a period of f.om on en o.. thre
ars, and should enact regulations i (

tion of the dispens-try law in Edgelleid,
where he has closely observedl it, Indi
cates that there is a large shortage in
the consumption of liquor, and he says
he is glad of It. Governor Tillman
